Okay. You've seen to caps - you
may have listened to some of the audio clips - but to get the ultimate
BATS experience you have to purchase two very special videos. Brought to
you by Stakeburner.com both BURN BABY BURN 1 and volume 2 are essential
purchases for any BATS fan. Featuring well over 70 scenes from TV/Movie
and rare sources, I heartily recommend this unique opportunity to see
almost every BATS scene ever filmed. What's more, all of these clips have
been carefully edited so that the scenes you watch are pure stake
burning action with all unnecessary bits removed to further your
enjoyment and viewing pleasure. Very reasonably priced at $29 each (or
$50 for both volumes) you'll never get a better opportunity to see this
many damsels at the stake in two videos. To go to the site click here
or on either picture.

Time
for a bit of fun. This is a really atmospheric black and white BATS
picture, with all other by-standers 'edited' out leaving this extremely
pretty lady all on her own. If anyone can think of a better/funnier
caption for this or any other BATS related photo then send it to me.

reminder that this site doesn't take itself too seriously ! :)

Burning at the Stake -
re-enactments

If you've lived for a while with this fantasy deeply rooted inside you,
then no doubt you will have (at some time) considered the possibility of
actually being burnt at the stake. It goes without saying that nobody
wants to really burn at the stake, but you'd still like to enjoy
the thrill of the stake and the flames without any of the accompanying
danger/pain. The first step is to have a consenting adult partner
willing to either be the burner, or the burnee. This is often a huge
obstacle to overcome but if you approach it the correct way then you may
well surprise yourself. For a start, don't go barging in with talk of
witch burning and fires - a little gentle bondage and talk of damsels in
distress being a big 'turn on' is perhaps the way to go. Tell your
partner you'd love to see them in this role, with yourself as the villain
and good guy, saving the day (and getting appropriate reward!! :).As
discussed earlier, Damsels in distress are proven to be a big turn on
for many people and your partner may well feel the same.

From there on in you can satisfy your fantasy without a match being
struck, if you're willing to use a bit of imagination. Just talking
about it can be surprisingly erotic. Tell your partner what you plan to
do to them, how, why and when. Make up a fantasy story to suite both
of your needs. Dim the lights, make love and perhaps play out your
fantasy between the sheets. Gauge his/her reaction to this and don't
over do it - just remember to try and make it romantic rather than
horrific.

So you've maybe tried this, and the he/she has been receptive to this
idea. Well I know that people have and do safely re-enact BATS scenes
with willing partners (see caps) but safety is a paramount issue here.
I'm sorry to say that personally I haven't experienced this and
therefore know not how best to advise you. I do know that fire is
dangerous and smoke even more so, so please look into this closely
before attempting anything. I'd fully recommend Stakeburn's site that
has a special D.I.Y. (Do it Yourself) section devoted to this topic.
Click here
for a direct link to that page.

Which ever way you decide to fulfill your
fantasy, whether it be through fantasy or re-enactment, please remember
to play safe in BOTH areas. Don't make your witch burning fantasy your
only turn on - and don't pressure your partner into something he/she
does not want to do. If they just aren't interested then you'll just
have to accept that and get on with it.
I hope this helps at least get you thinking about real/fantasy BATS. If
anyone has ever attempted a BATS scene and would be willing to share
their thoughts on this issue then please contact me. Thank you.

This could be you !

Okay
then - you'd love to see yourself at the stake being burnt, but you
either have no willing partner to share this fantasy with, or you're not
suited to the idea of a re-enactment. So what do you do ?

Well, there is one option left open to you. You could get to grips with
a photoshop type package and set about learning how to manipulate images
to make up a BATS scene with you as the star !

Manipulation isn't too difficult IF you have the correct type of picture
to start with, and a suitable photo image package. With the onset of the
digital revolution you may find yourself in possession of a digital
camera which is ideal to pose an exact position to copy and paste to a
stake and pyre. Even if you just have a facial picture, that can often
be enough to alter a previous manipulators image to suite your own
needs.
However, camera's and software can be quite expensive - and that's
before you set aside the time to learn how to use them both. As a last
resort you could send them to me. I can't guarantee I'll be able to do
them but if your heart is set on seeing yourself in a BATS scenario then
I'll give it a go. One thing you'll need to know is that I don't do any
nude stuff - and please don't abuse this offer with pictures of models,
etc. Also try and send a photo with the appropriate facial expression
(smiling at the stake just doesn't work !). If you really want a nude
shot I do know someone who is very good with that (and very
trusting too). It also helps to describe what kind of BATS scene you'd
like too. All pictures will be sent in absolute confidence and will NOT
be displayed or released into public domain unless permission is given
to do so.

And finally.........

Many thanks to the following people; Buettel,
Stakeburn, for all their superb
contributions to the scene in the form of their excellent web sites.
Also thanks to all the contributors (past and present) from Fembats -
TNH, Shenck, Mad Viking, DedHeather, Feder Fechter, Fireboots, SKG,
Frank (at www.Limited Audience.com),
Alex, and all others for their stories,
manips, and banter.
And special thanks for all their hard work and contributions to
Ralphus and Oberon without whose help this
site would not have been possible. Not only with information and
manipulations, but also with their input and testing of the site. What
would I have done without these guys ?
